Chapter 130 Zhao Ji's death - no more Song Huizong (two chapters merged, kill Zhao Ji!)(1/2)
Why did you charge long ago?
Wanyan Zongwang couldn't believe his eyes and ears anymore. Song Jun was so cowardly that he was so furious that he was in an instant and rushed forward shouting "Long Live"!
Just as surprised as Wanyan Zongwang, the Jurchen soldiers who followed him to chase Liu Yanqing all the way. They were actually already tired. They fought with the Song army on the Wannian New Dike for several days, and then charged the Song army with the greatest strength, destroying the Song people's formation in one fell swoop, and then chased Liu Yanqing's defeated soldiers for dozens of miles... Fortunately, they were all "old Jurchens" who fought all the way between the Baishan and the Black Water. They endured hardships, were full of energy, and had a very high morale. Otherwise, they would be tired and afraid of being exhausted!
But even so, after such a long battle and chasing, it is inevitable that people and horses will be trapped. So it is really hard to resist when encountering the Song army who suddenly started to charge forward.
However, Wanyan Zongwang is not easy to mess with. He knows best that the army fights at night, and it is just a momentum.
You can't be timid, whoever is timid will fail!
Seeing that the people under his command were afraid, Wanyan Zongwang didn't think too much, and he didn't ask why his opponent suddenly exploded... Once the opponent's momentum was soaring, the consequences would be unimaginable! After all, there were many opponents, maybe 30,000 to 40,000, and they all had to fight a long live charge. I don't know who won and lost this battle tonight!
Thinking of this, Wanyan Zongwang hurriedly shouted: "Saili!"
"Someone is here!"
Immediately, a strong Jurchen man with a dirty white robe with wet hair and beard responded.
This man is also from the Wanyan family. The Wanyan family has been amazing in the past few decades. With brilliant stars and many talents, it is no wonder that there is no seat to be a lackey to surrender to. This Wanyan’s Chinese name is Zong Xian, and he is a brother of the same age as Wanyan Zongwang. There is also a famous bandit name in history, so King Gai Tian!
He followed Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Chang to capture Yelu Yanxi together. This time, the Southern Expedition was assigned to Wanyan Zongwang and fought all the way to Kaifeng Prefecture. However, except for the Wannian Dike, he did not fight well in this battle against Song... Moreover, the Wannian Dike was not interesting in his opinion, but the Song people went on their deaths one after another.
However, this night battle tonight looked a little interesting, and Song Jun's momentum became a little more powerful!
When the Song army became more powerful, Wanyan Saili stood directly on the saddle of his war horse, stretched his neck and looked around. This guy was born with a pair of "night eyes" and his ears were also very awesome. When Wanyan Zongwang called him, he had already discovered what the key point of the battlefield was?
"Where is the enemy general?" Wanyan Zongwang also knew that he was observing the battlefield - standing so high, and stretching his neck to look around. What else could he do if he was not observing the enemy situation?
Wanyan Saili yelled: "The enemy general is at the gate of the temple in front... The Song soldiers near the gate of the mountain are the most powerful!"
"Okay!" Wanyan Zongwang said, "Saili, you play the striker, and some family will follow you... Let's fight together!"
"Get order!" Wanyan Saili responded, and he slid down with his saddle, then sat steadily on the horse's back. Then he saw him take a rifle from a follower next to him, waved it forward and pointed it open, and shouted, "My sons, follow a certain Saili... the enemy is at the mountain gate!"
"The enemy is at the mountain gate! The enemy is at the mountain gate..."
Now the Jin soldiers on the battlefield in Zhenshuiguan did not shout "The flood is coming", but changed to "the enemy is at the mountain gate". This is not a clamor, but a pointing out the direction of the attack for their companions.
It's night now, and while the Jin soldiers were chasing the enemy, the command system was already in chaos. The generals could not find the soldiers, the soldiers could not find the generals, and the normal command delivery system was gone. So they could only use the most primitive method to mobilize the troops - yell!
Of course, in this case, the morale of the army is very important. Because the superiors rely on yelling, the subordinates rely on self-consciousness to implement the orders... If anyone wants to leave, no team can find him!
In this era, the morale of the Jurchen Jin soldiers was enough. A group of wild men in the mountains and forests became nobles. Of course, they were so arrogant. That is, Zhao Kai, the "two-good" army, who was clamoring to share the world with the warriors, could compete with them. Both sides were the way to "conquer the world and divide the oil and water"! Moreover, most of the soldiers on both sides were relatively simple, and I believe that they could really get the oil and water.
So when the roar of "the enemy is at the mountain gate" resounded throughout the battlefield, the Jurchens who were originally scattered everywhere in battle with the Song people gathered at the gate of the Taoist temple!
But Zhao Ji's side is not good. Kaifeng soldiers are old fried dough sticks for generations. They don't believe in the matter of "conquer the world and divide the oil and water". If there is really a difference, their ancestors will be divided. So when the night battle in Zhenshui Temple, only Kaifeng soldiers near the mountain gate were inspired because Zhao Ji was in the battle, so the others should still escape. Especially after the Jin thieves who fought with them started to concentrate at the mountain gate, their chance to escape came!
As for Liu Yanqing's Qin soldiers, it became a habit of running away and could not change... Oh, there were still some people who ran away, such as Liu Yanqing himself. I don't know what he thought. After arriving at Zhenshui Temple, he immediately ran to see Zhao Ji himself, but he didn't think about it.
So tonight, the ones who really fought for Zhao Ji's desperate attempt to fight the Jin thieves were Shengjie Army stationed in the Taoist temple, Ban Zhi, and a small number of Kaifeng Song soldiers outside the Taoist temple's mountain gate, as well as Liu Yanqing's personal soldiers. Adding one is five or six thousand, the number is smaller than that of Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Seri!
When a large number of Jin soldiers rushed over with the slogan "The enemy is at the mountain gate", the Song army protecting Zhao Ji began to be unable to withstand it.
And at this moment, Zhao Ji's alcohol also sobered up!
When you wake up, you become timid!
To be honest, he didn't know why he went to the battlefield!
He just remembered that he was drinking and reciting poems with someone in a good house, but why did he suddenly go to the battlefield... and it was such a messy, dark and terrible battlefield, with all kinds of terrible voices mixed together, and it was like a wave of waves coming towards him.
"What's going on? Why did the fight start? Who are you fighting?"
When the people who were guarding him heard this, they knew that the official family had sobered up and knew that it was going to be bad!
Because Zhao Ji went to the battlefield with lanterns!
The Song soldiers around him were watching! If he disconnected now, the morale of the Song army would immediately collapse and it would be completely over by then!
Tong Guan, who had rich experience in the battlefield, hurriedly supported Zhao Ji (worrying that he was dizzy), "The official family is not afraid of... it is just a few thousand gold thieves who are fighting."
Just a few thousand gold thieves?
Zhao Ji was confused at that time and shouted, "Hurry, protect the car..."
As he shouted, Zhao Ji turned around and wanted to run into the Taoist temple, but was caught by Zhao Shu and Zhao Zhen.
"Father...the Taoist temple is not a city, it cannot be guarded!"
"Father, the Taoist temple is made of wood. It will be burned to death if you just need it!"
Zhao Ji thought it was right and hurriedly asked the filial son beside him, "What should I do?"
"Kill out!" Liu Yanqing shouted, "Officials, take advantage of the fact that the Jin thieves have not yet surrounded them... I will protect you and fight out!"
Liu Yanqing is a long-standing battle formation. He knows that if he continues to fight like this, he will die!
Although it seems that the battlefield is evenly matched, the actual situation must be that the Song army has suffered heavy casualties and not many Jin soldiers have died.
The reason why the Song army can still maintain it is that the official family has set up their virtual fire in the face of battle; the other is that the sky is too dark and the Jin soldiers are a little chaotic, and I don’t know how big their advantages are?
So if you want to escape, you have to take advantage of the moment!
"What Liu Taiwei said is very kind!" Tong Guan also spoke. The old man was almost crazy and hurriedly said to Zhao Ji: "The old minister has already summoned 300 squadrons of heroes... They can ride horses and can protect His Majesty to fight out!"
He can ride a horse...it sounds so inspiring!
"Yes, but I..." Zhao Ji's voice trembled, and his tears were almost coming out, "I'm afraid, trembling, I can't ride a horse!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a wine gourd was handed over. When Zhao Ji saw that his son Zhao Zhen held a gourd and asked him to give it to him.
"Shibalang, you are..."
"Father, this is the wine prepared by the child for you!"
"Fine wine?" Zhao Ji didn't understand, what does this mean?
"Drink more, and your father will not be afraid if you get drunk!" The big boy of sixteen or seventeen years old said seriously.
Yes, if you get drunk, you are not a coward Zhao Ji, you have become a Zhou Lang in Jiangdong...
Zhao Ji was really crazy, and he believed the words of half a boy. After taking the wine gourd, he pulled out the plug and started to pour himself into trouble!
Not to mention, Zhao Ji's courage became really strong after drinking wine. After a while, he had red eyes and faces, looking like he was going crazy, and then he shakingly said: "Liu Yanqing, you take the lead... After this leader, the emperor, kill a bloody road! Kill out!"
What? I'm the leader?
Liu Yanqing is really eager to die now. He originally wanted to protect Zhao Ji, but now he was forced to take the lead by a drunk official... I don’t know if he would become a loyal and wise man (Liu Yanqing died in the Anti-Jin War in history)?

Chapter 131: The Death of Zhao Ji - Zhuang Zong's Demise, Song You Chuang! (Please collect, please recommend)
On April 26, the eighth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty, early morning.
When the sky finally became a little dark, more than a thousand cavalry had already set up three long wall-like horizontal lines in front of Zhenshui Temple by Wuzhang River!
Among them, Liu Yanqing's more than 300 personal soldiers were Liu Yanqing. The faces under the helmet were ashen and were almost dripping from water - they were filled with regret!
They were all personal soldiers who had been following Liu Taiwei for many years and had never fought well in the army for so many years. When the situation was good, they would follow Liu Taiwei to rob, and when the situation was bad, they would protect Liu Taiwei and run away... They had never thought about such a thing!
They thought that they could always be safe and steadily with Taiwei Liu, but they were forced to go to the front line of death to be a "dead soldier". It would be hard to not die this time!
Because Grand Marshal Liu now led three hundred Shengjie soldiers with ugly faces than theirs and set them up in the second row... Liu Yanqing had already spoken, and he and the three hundred Shengjie soldiers had advance and no retreat! If his personal soldiers dared to escape in the battle or delay the situation, just greet him!
Of course, Liu Yanqing was forced to be so loyal and brave... There is a drunk official who wants to be loyal!
Moreover, this drunk and drunk official family had a lot of drunken and drunken staff, including three hundred people, and many other officials in front of the hotel, as well as several princes, as well as Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and other accompanying officials formed the third row of cavalry, and now they were behind Liu Yanqing!
God, more than 300 drunks are riding horses, holding swords and guns, and holding them behind him... This is his drunk driving! No one is in charge. What about God? Who will manage it?
The emperor's "drinking" matters was ignored by the laws of heaven, and even more so, "human desires" were not controlled. Now the only one who could be managed is the Jin soldiers.
Just as Zhao Ji was drinking wine, waiting for Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Liu Yanqing and Zhang Shizheng and other officials who would lead troops, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Saili had already swept the Song army outside the gate of Zhenshuiguan. They thought the Song army would retreat into that temple (actually a Taoist temple dedicated to the water god) to defend the death, but unexpectedly, this group of Song army actually listed three rows of cavalry, looking like there were more than a thousand cavalry.
Look at it, does this mean to rush into the battlefield? The Jin soldiers are not afraid!
Wanyan Zongwang immediately ordered Wanyan Seri to mobilize two thousand cavalrymen, arranged and spread out outside the Zhenshui Temple, and put on a stance of cavalry hedging.
Two thousand Jin soldiers! Although it is not Tiefutu, it is just a configuration of a kidnapped horse (in fact, most of them have heavy armor, but they only stay in the Wannian New Dike and did not bring it), it is enough to deal with more than a thousand Song cavalry.
So, including Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Saili, everyone was quite relaxed, as if they were just waiting to cut off their heads.
"Dongdong...dongdong...dongdongdong..."
At this time, the rhythm sounded very wrong. The drum sound (mostly a drunken knight was beating randomly) had already started... This was a death-seeking drum! So a loud cry continued!
It seems...the cavalry of the Song people was crying!
The Jin soldiers on the battlefield were stunned. Why did these Song people cry? They were scared to us? Since they were so scared, why should we move forward?
Could it be a fraud?
“Woooo…”
Just as the Jin soldiers were thinking about it, Wanyan Zongwang ordered the trumpet to blow the trumpet, and the cavalry led by Wanyan Seri launched a charge.
The cavalry on both sides had already been agitated. Not to mention the Song people crying, even if the Song cavalry on the opposite side learned to call from a tiger, the Jin soldiers would have to charge. Otherwise, when the Song cavalry on the opposite side rushed forward and the Jin soldiers could not rush up, they would be defeated.
And no one is afraid of a group of enemies crying on the battlefield! They are all scared and are even more fucked!
Liu Yanqing was also in tears at this time because he knew that this time he would be a life-threatening life... He had been a soldier for most of his life, but was forced to be a loyal and wise man. Isn't this life too miserable?
To be continued...
